My 94 grand marquis shut off seconds after a loud grinding noise that sounded like it was coming from the front left hand side. I tried turning it back on after it happened and the check engine and oil lights came on. After a few more tries we got it on and parked. The next day it ran fine, didn't give us any trouble turning on. Should I be worried about driving it? Any ideas as to what the problem could have been or what I should check out?

SOURCE: 2004 Grand Marquis picked the wrong day for the

A blower control switch for the digital A/C. Mine went out almost the same way, driving along, checked outside temp. and then it started getting warm. No blower, no defroster, not even a trickle of air from the vents.
This part is behind the motor on the ductwork. It is inconveniently behind the heater hose on the engine. It takes 2 screws, about 9mm, and has 1 electric plug.
It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes with 90% in the vent. If you can plug in the new part to the harness you can instantly tell if it is the problem, because the A/C will work. Then remove heater hose and lose some coolant, switch part.
Oddly enough there is a diagnostic in the dash display, but it did not idenify this part.

There are several possibilities that could be causing your problem.

  • Low on power steering fluid
  • Bad steering box
  • Bad tie rod end
  • Bad ball joints
Assuming the power steering fluid is full, bring the car to any brake shop or repair shop that does front end alignments to diagnose the problem further. I hope you find this points you in the right direction. Thank you for using Fixya! Greg

I interpret this as the Passengers side of your car. Usually the serpentine belt breaks when the A/C compressor seizes. That is the part which is probably grinding or the A/C clutch bearing is seized.

Although this is Winter, the Defroster is made to activate the compressor to lube it during the Winter. Now the pulley that turns the compressor has a clutch bearing. It is ALWAYS turning when the engine is on except when electricity is applied to the compressor clutch and it locks and turns the A/C compressor shaft.

What needs to be done now is to determine if the A/C clutch bearing is bad or if the A/C compressor is bad. Most A/C clutch bearings can be removed and replaced. SOME of the bearings within the A/C clutch can be changed and then they are as good as new.

The procedure for replacing the bearing is 1 step beyond replacing the entire A/C clutch. The fan shroud must be removed, the serpentine belt must come off, then a small bolt and a retaining clip must be removed and the clutch slid off the compressor.

There is no need to remove the compressor or lose Freon. The bearing situation can be determined once the serpentine belt is removed and the parts turned by hand.

Probably so. When making a left hand turn, if the noise gets loader, it is the right side bearing. IE... putting more wieght on that side of the car.
